Primary Identifier | MGI:106586 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 18377 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within neuron projection regeneration and regulation of collateral sprouting of intact axon in response to injury. Predicted to be located in myelin sheath and plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain and spinal cord. Orthologous to human OMG (oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit improved recovery from spinal cord injuries when on a mixed 129S4/SvJae C57BL/6 background. [provided by MGI curators] |
